This initiative aims to support practitioners from under-represented backgrounds and projects that reflect gender equity and/or the diversity of people and experiences from around Australia, all of which are important culturally, creatively and economically. For the purposes of this initiative, we recognise ‘Under-represented Backgrounds’ as: those identifying as First Nations Australians; women; those with diverse age backgrounds; people from cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds; people living with disability; people of diverse sexuality and gender identities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQIA+); people from under-represented locations (including regional and remote areas); and people from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Up to three projects from Victoria may be commissioned as part of this initiative for broadcast on SBS On Demand, SBS Viceland and SBS & NITV. What are we looking for? Eligible projects must be unscripted documentaries that reflect the SBS Charter. Projects must be focussed on contemporary Australian issues and promise to be compelling and engaging. Projects must be achievable within budget and suitable for the target audience in accordance with the SBS Codes of Practice and SBS Editorial Guidelines. Specifically, we are looking for: • Unscripted documentary projects suitable for SBS On Demand, SBS Viceland and for those relevant projects, NITV. • An awareness of who the project is for and why it is relevant for this audience.

  • Screening Melbourne
    SCREENING MELBOURNE 22-24 February 2017 https://screeningmelbourne.wordpress.com/ SCREENING MELBOURNE Welcome to the inaugural Screening Melbourne conference presented by the Melbourne Screen Studies Group in association with Deakin University, RMIT University, Monash University, Swinburne University of Technology, La Trobe University and the University of Melbourne, and co-presented with partners, the Ian Potter Foundation, the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Experimenta Media Arts, Multicultural Arts Victoria and the Centre for Contemporary Photography. Screen media form the connective tissue of Melbourne’s cultural life. From key moments in early cinema, such as the production of the world’s first feature film The Story of the Kelly Gang, to the broadcast of national events like the Melbourne Cup and AFL Grand Final, to early video game developers such as Beam Software setting up in the city, there is barely a section of Melbourne that is not illuminated by screen culture. The conference has been organised across five primary strands of investigation: Melbourne on Screen From dramas like Romper Stomper to suburban soap opera Neighbours and the superhero adventure Ghost Rider, the diversity of Melbourne’s landscape, architecture, and people allow the city to tell any number of screen stories. Screening Melbourne considers how Melbourne is depicted on screen for local and international audiences, and even how the city is used as an anonymous space. It examines issues of multiculturalism and migration, celebrity, authorship, special effects/affects, authenticity, emotional histories and tourism. Screen Cultures in Melbourne Melbourne offers a fertile example of how a city can engage with screen culture, from historic movie palaces and film societies to public screenings and events.

  • Theorising the Cultural Impacts of Film Distribution in the Cinema and Beyond
    Theorising the Cultural Impacts of Film Distribution in the Cinema and Beyond Lauren Carroll Harris A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of the Arts and Media, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of New South Wales March 2017 1 2 3 Publications Parts of this thesis have appeared in various forms in different scholarly publications. Material from the case study in Chapter 3 appeared as “Window of Opportunity: The Future of Film Distribution in Australia,” Metro (2014) 182:98-103, while conceptual material was presented in Not at a Cinema Near You: Australia’s Film Distribution (2013) Vol. 37, Platform Papers, Strawberry Hills: Currency House. An early version of Chapter 4 was published in “Film Distribution as Policy: Current Standards and Alternatives,” International Journal of Cultural Policy (2016) 1-20, published online 13 March, <http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10286632.2016.1156100>. And Chapter 5 includes material published as “Theorising Film Festivals as Distributors and the Post- festival Distribution of Australian Films,” Studies in Australasian Cinema (forthcoming) and presented at the Screen Studies Association of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand conference in November 2016. 4 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements A wide circle of people have supported this thesis with feedback and scholarly kindness. My supervisors have been unthinkably encouraging with their intelligence, time and energy: Greg Dolgopolov has spent many hours and cups of coffee talking through the conceptual material and providing support, while Jane Mills’ eagle-eyed and forensic editing has taught me much about academic modes of writing. George Kouvaros read a number of truly terrible drafts and helped develop the ideas and my sense of how to articulate them.
